WTF I didn't know Takeover started!!!

 

[Sokantish]

Its just the pre-show, spin. Don't worry!

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

ALL HAIL BASED HEYMAN

 

[serenewarfare]

Heyman is amazing.

WTF I didn't know Takeover started!!!

Pre-show

 

[Kaladin]

Paul Heyman shoots on these pre-shows.

I love it.

 

[Ithil]

Gee, Cole, why don't you just get some chewing tobacco to spit in his face while you're at it?

 

[strobogo]

The best part of all that is that he called TJ a bitch and TJ sat there and took it, and then let Nattie defend him, proving Cole's point.

 

[BronsonLee]

Jesus Based Heyman

 

[Jimmy King]

SES is heel magic. Punk going "I HATE THE CROWD" every week as weak attempts to be booed in vain, is not.

I was watching this stuff weekly. That he never got booed was a problem, given he was supposed to be the top heel. If you're getting cheered, whatever you're doing is not making you a heel.

When people talk highly of Punk on the mic I just assume/hope they're referring to SES Punk.

This might end up being my favorite moment of the night, irrelevant of what else happens.

 

[spindashing]

Pre-show

Phew. Just tuned in.

 

[ghostmind]

That may have been the best thing Michael Cole has done in years.

 

[Ithil]

When people talk highly of Punk on the mic I just assume/hope they're referring to SES Punk.

Punk's ability to speak is excellent. But as a character, the newest heel Punk was simply forced.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Christian and Heyman commentary needs to happen.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Good lord, Cole with the tough questions.

And Hey-God strikes again.

 

[Four_Chamber]

I am ready for Takeover

My body is ready

 

[BronsonLee]

OH SHIT ITS A BUS

 

[blackaroni]

I really don't like the sound of Heyman's voice anymore. Party time!

 

[Diablos54]

Christian and Heyman commentary needs to happen.

Could be great! DO IT HHH!!

 

[ghostmind]

It's a different bunny... MEGATON

 

[Ithil]

Rebecca Knox in the house!

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

HERE WE GO!

 

[Kaladin]

I am a rosebud.

 

[Diablos54]

The Exotic Express!!

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Godamn I love the Takeover theme

 

[strobogo]

Everyone always talks about the bunny, but they never talk about the Sal Bellomo homage.

 

[Kaladin]

Wait, I thought the only things certain in life were death and taxes.....now we have change?

 

[Jimmy King]

Punk's ability to speak is excellent. But as a character, the newest heel Punk was simply forced.

I started watching again during his face run and I found his stuff to be terrible for the most part. Just as bad as Cena's pandering and jokes. BUT that was kind of the point I guess. His heel run stuff was forced like you said. "You arms are too short to box with God" comes off as something cool he heard and decided to fit into a promo, which it was.

That being said, he is great on the mic. Which is why I have higher standards for him.

 

[Sephzilla]

talking about change so you show Cena?

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

that was a cool intro...gonna be a fun show

 

[Jimmy King]

talking about change so you show Cena?

The colors of his shirt do vary from time to time.

 

[blackaroni]

Damn. It's the shitty announcers.

 

[Vylash]

Perfect way to start takeover with future world champ Adam Rose

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

They should just Goldberg Rose's entrance from now on to build up anticipation for the party from now on.

 

[Sblargh]

I don't stay hype, but I got hyped now.

 

[Kaladin]

From The Exotic Express arrival to ringside....that's an entrance.

 

[Jimmy King]

If there's one character they should bring back backstage skits for, it's Adam Rose.

Punk is about as natural of a heel as you can get and he rarely got to really show it in WWE. Being the top* face is the wrong spot for him.




*After Cener.

 

[blackaroni]

I wonder how many times they're gonna mention the barrio.

 

[Sephzilla]

i think anti hero punk is best punk

 

[KissVibes]

CAMACHO!!

 

[tm24]

That's not a Raider's fan comin down the ring! What is this shit?

 

[Ithil]

I wonder how many times they're gonna mention the barrio.

That's his full name, Camacho D'barrio.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Why is Camacho still playing his character? He's not even hispanic!

Repackage him as Haku Jr. or something and give him the Tongan Death Grip.

 

[Sblargh]

Camacho is a handsome dude.
8/10 would bang.

 

[Jimmy King]

Punk is about as natural of a heel as you can get and he rarely got to really show it in WWE. Being the top* face is the wrong spot for him.

For as bad as I found his 2012 face run I can't hate it too much because I do feel like it was really all part of this ruse leading to his heel turn. It was a Cena sellout gimmick complete with a Ziggler burial at the Royal Rumble.

 

[Kaladin]

PARTY TIME ALL THE TIME

 

[Phatmac]

Let's go Rose!

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

i wanna see meng party with rose
